BEIRUT (Reuters) - Extending U.S. sanctions on Iran for 10 years would breach the Iranian nuclear agreement, Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said on Wednesday, warning that Tehran would retaliate if the sanctions are approved.
The U.S. House of Representatives re-authorized last week the Iran Sanctions Act, or ISA, for 10 years. The law was first adopted in 1996 to punish investments in Iran's energy industry and deter Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
The Iran measure will expire at the end of 2016 if it is not renewed. The House bill must still be passed by the Senate and signed by President Barack Obama to become law.
Iran and world powers concluded the nuclear agreement, also known as JCPOA, last year. It imposed curbs on Iran's nuclear program in return for easing sanctions that have badly hurt its economy.

Hasn’t Iran already breached the deal??
What deal? Never heard of it.
That matters not to Obama...
What deal.
There can be no deals, treaties or agreements without the consent of Congress.
Thus, nothing to breach.
Retaliation?? Like what...Stomp your feet??
Let’s take back the ransom money while were at it.
Iran has breached the deal on an hourly basis ever since it was signed.
What are the current vegas odds on the US bombing the crap out of Iran in the next 4 years?
What a crock. There is no treaty...there is a anti-American deal by the moozlum-loving traitor, Clown Prince nobama. Deal’s off,moe hammed, come January 20th.
I can’t wait for the first response from President Trump to these camel-humpers.
You can threaten Obama because you know nothing will happen. But a word to you Iran, Mr Trump is not Mr Obama.
The first thing will be an announcement by the Iranian government that it is canceling its recent Boeing deal and signing a deal with Airbus instead.
What nuclear deal? We give them a billion and they get to speed up their bomb production?
Boeing should have known better....unless they got a chunk up front.
Release the Mattis...
F Iran.
It’s OK when they do it.
Bring it Towel Head.
